@neph93:

Worn XHS vests are obviously like the nr.2 bus where I live. You can wait ages and not see one then two come along at once. Very nice indeed @The_Bourbon_Denim_Guy

I wear mine whenever the weather allows me but still not a lot of fading going on. This mofo takes a while to break in

I have upgraded to a bigger size, am thinking shall I soak or not
@neph93 what your opinion…

Has anyone soak... their first, or worn raw

It should shrink in line with jeans. The only experience I have of shrinking type III's is with my IHV-21. It is was the old 18oz denim, but lined. The lining made shrinkage harder but I gave it a super hot wash which did the job.

I say go for it, especially if you'd like it a little more trim.

As a matter of interest, what are you doing with your old one? 

[Kasi]

It’s hot soak now… even GAH snaps are shining

[Kasi]

Last time I brought this vest I worn it RAW, felt very uncomfortable button kept popping open.
Am starting all over again.
Now I after soak it this time fall’s in the right place how it should be crunch up in length

Nailed it mate. Great vest fit.

That really looks great and totally sick with the GA snaps.

When the rich gets richer..

@Giles I did says I would do this when the time is right.

Thanks to @Graham and @Chesson for the effort and hard work to pimp it.

Check it out the full house

[neph93]

Congratulations @Kasi. Incredible stuff!

[Giles]

WOW

[jordanscollected]

@Kasi your wardrobe is the modern day version of someone having a chest of the finest silks and fabrics from around the world in their attic just waiting to be passed down for generations.

That's impressive. Even Herrods doesn't have a nice enough shop to house this vest.

one more quip. that's not the full house, it's a royal flush

[vaquero357]

…9 buttons! Wow! is right!

...wheres my calculator, better not let that one out of your site @Kasi!

[vaquero357]

…10 buttons!!! I missed one!

[motojobobo]

10 GAH SNAPS!!! Wow @Kasi , your wife surely hasn’t signed up to the forum I gather. 

Stellar pimping there.

[Jett129]

The Full House is the perfect name for that vest. If that's not Denim Porn,then I don't know what is. Well done.

Kasi, looks amazing, I’ve been wanting to do the same thing with mine!

Whoa @Kasi did you break into the GAH vault?! that vest is what dreams are made of!

[John Galt]

Any plans to restock these at some point or going extinct?

[Giles]

No plans, but Japan have a few in smaller sizes (XS-L) available, so if you would like one, please drop me (and cc @AdamC ) a PM….
